Just An FYI

The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe is held in very low esteem by the general comic book fan/Wikipedia editor subgroup. Lots42 (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You make valid points. But the usual method is to reference an example. Such as indicating that in BlahBlah Issue (number, month, year), EvilGuy, unaided, punched through an M-1 Abrams tank, then threw a taxi full of accountants into the sun'. That is more clear then saying 'The Handbook says he's really strong'. Lots42 (talk) 01:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you yourself just clarified why the handbook is not held in high regard. Plus, like I indicated, vague. Heck, IIRC, even the handbook itself said the comics themselves were more definitive. Lots42 (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Judicial tyranny article

I am curious as to why you summarily reverted my changes to this article, which removed a large swathe of unsourced material which had no relation to the subject, was in many cases indisputably factually inaccurate. I believe my talk page explanation was clear. The material I removed was an attempt to turn a reasonable article into a rather wacky soapbox, and should have been removed long ago. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 03:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:ANI

Thanks. Semi-pp'd. Some are TOR nodes, some are not, but it's easier just to deny at present. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

My experience is that they tend to be open until someone tells the operators otherwise. In recent cases, they have been flagged as open and anyone seriously wanting to use those IPs can find others. Wikipedia cannot be responsible for its input, in my view. If IP operators tend to be lax about how they allocate IP addresses, then I'd suggest those that use those operators should find a more sensible way of contributing. I know there are difficulties from some countries, but all we have to go on there is how those IP users edit; and currently, it's not looking good. These are not politically oppressed activists, they are nuisances. Feel free to disagree. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's just the nature of anon IPs. Schoolkids tend to be naive, thinking if they don't log in, they can't be traced. Until, of course, we do a 6 month schoolblock and nobody can edit unregistered, which, on balance may be no bad thing. TOR nodes, I can see the advantage of for those who live in repressive countries and have no other way of reaching outside; however, like any open structure, there will be abuse. My own recent professional experience is in detecting paedophiles, and it's a technical nightmare, let alone explaining it all to a jury. Gone are the days of the BBS boards and the overt Usenet groups; even P2P is pretty well sewn-up, so it gets harder and harder. Meanwhile, at least here we can do something to keep it in-house. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I liked the principle of "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but having seen the other side, I'm beginning to doubt it. I'm tending towards going for registration with an ISP, not a web-email address. That might lose a lot of good editors, but it would certainly lose a lot of bad ones too. But then, as an admin, perhaps I tend to see mostly the bad side. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 02:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: deletion closure

Since the article had indeed been uncontroversially deleted, you did close it legitimately. I'd call that good housekeeping. You didn't apply the top template right at the top of the page, so I tidied it up. Were you to close a discussion as a keep, Just be extremely careful with non admin keeps should you close a discussion, and observe Wikipedia:Speedy keep and Wikipedia:Non-admin closure. No matter how good your judgement may be, avoiding any unnecessary bother that might result from it is best. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 21:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The wrong closing template was used - one for normal discussion, not the one for AfD debate. See Wikipedia:Deletion process. I've re-closed it to clarify it was a speedy by User:Inter. Otherwise it looks as though you made the decision, whereas you were just recording the decision made by someone else. Ty 03:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA comment

Hey HalfShadow, I noticed this after someone brought it up on IRC, and I felt like I owed it to you to let you know how I felt, rather than keeping my mouth shut. It troubled me, because from a quick glance it looked like a new user who just didn't understand how RfA works (perhaps you didn't mean for it to come across as harsh as it seemed to to me). If you had reason to think they were acting in bad faith, the comment didn't make it clear, your oppose didn't give them any pointers or explanation for your thinking. For the future, I'd urge you to gently explain to the user on their talk page rather than leaving an oppose that could be taken as hurtful or insulting. I feel like most newbies get it and are glad to cooperate when they're approached in a friendly way; at least I've had success with that. Anyway, these are just my thoughts for you to consider if you like, I try to let people know when I have feedback for them. Peace, delldot talk 17:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

vandalism?

Hi,

I'm confused as to why you undid all my edits to the backyardigans episode page with the comment "rv", which I assume means something about reversing vandalism. I could see a possible objection to one of my changes in that it was somewhat subjective, but most of them were fixing formatting inconsistencies and modify links so that they point to the appropriate topics. Did I do something wrong in the way I added my edits or do you seriously think it's better for "bossa nova" to point to a disambiguation page?

thanks,

Hi there. Can you point me to the foreign-language Wiki that this article appears on? I did a quick bit of searching and was not able to find it.

Hi. I know that it seems to be common practice (and many admins speedy them, incorrectly in my view), but Wikipedia:CSD#A2 specifically states that it's only for "Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project". I don't speak Arabic unfortunately, so I can't just pop over to arwiki to determine if they already have an article on the topic. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC).

Hey there. Awesome job with the vandal fighting and new page (NP) patrolling. Just wanted to let you know that if the author of the page removes a speedy tag from the article, you shouldn't use rollback to restore the tag unless that is the only thing that has been changed on the page.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Grand Director 001.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Grand Director 001.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Don't bother warning anyone vandalising Jeske's page

Honestly, you'll just be wasting seconds you could be using to accomplish things with. The vandal will never see the warning and the IP will be blocked seconds later anyway. HalfShadow 04:45, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Jeske warned me only seconds before you did. I didn't realize they were being blocked immediately. Thanks for the heads-up on that. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Explanation

I'd already written the part of editwarring AN3 but hadn't saved them, when I saw the additional comments from MastCell and Warden. Adding the rest was a mistake. --Ronz (talk) 23:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I noticed you were trying to help with this article, but just FYI it's complete vandalism, a substantial copy of another article, Tyler James. On the same topic, do you have any idea how to undo the author's moves of both his user page and his user talk page to those of the article? I tried, but it didn't move the content back to the proper places (his user page and user talk pages). I wasn't sure whether there was a noticeboard for this stuff, either. I noticed you have rollback, so I wasn't sure whether you could possibly fix the mess yourself, or know where to ask for these moves to be undone.

User:Werdo

Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, but I saw your comment on the above page to the effect that you didn't know if the user existed or not. That page was created by another user, not Werdo, and has been deleted, but if you want to know if a user exists the easiest way is to search for them at Special:Listusers - that contains the list of all accounts ever registered. _Gb^T/c 23:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Done. _Gb^T/c 23:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

LOL!

You know, it's actually fun to sometimes do something really off the wall to a vandal like the one we "gave" the T-shirt to. You made my night. Can I offer you a cookie in lieu of a T-shirt? --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

PMDrive1061 (talk) has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy munching!

Spread the goodness of cookies by adding {{subst:Cookie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or eat this cookie on the giver's talk page with {{subst:munch}}!

Rollback

Hi HalfShadow. Would you mind explaing to me why you used rollback here? --Kanonkas :  Talk  20:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

That's a good thing. However, I don't want to see such inappropriate use of the rollback tool again. --Kanonkas :  Talk  10:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, HalfShadow!
I just wanted to let you know that I didn't mean to land you in hot water over that rollback edit. Dig through my contributions and I'm sure you'll find some rollbacks that shouldn't be there; mistakes happen, no big deal.
I only meant to send a message during the recent ANI report on the editor in question that we need to keep our story straight on what this person is doing wrong. I've been hunting down this guy's sockpuppets for about a year now and I would hate to have an uninvolved and under-informed administrator suspend any further investigation for reason that accusations of any and all wrondoings might constitute harassment. There are editors who are thouroughly frustrated with ABH's behaviour and might say or do anything to get him blocked; I only want to make sure he's blocked for the right reasons -- sockpuppetry. If bringing too much attention to your rollback caused you any inconvenience, I sincerely apologize because my intent was anything but.

Peace! Big Bird (talk • contribs) 17:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Backyardigans...

Thank heavens. (It was the "snack" edit that was killing me most--as in, how much time do these people seriously have on their hands to ANALYZE this stuff?) Good decruftification!! GJC 00:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
